The interface for the RX01/RX02 is not like any other floppy interface

Lots of low level stuff is done out in the drive. The controller board
itself is fairly simple.
So you don't actually have the low level signals passed from the drive
to the controller on them.

If you can make a real DEC RX02 unit do anything
useful with a PC type
'1.2M' disk then I feel like saying I will eat one. The RX02 drive. It's
a dual 8" unit...
My mistake!
BUT, couldn't a "1.2M" 5.25" drive be cabled to the DEC?
Those diskettes might be slightly easier to find blanks than 8"
